Happy New Year!

I finally have time to sit down and update my blog! It was a wonderful Christmas. As you can see, I took tons of pictures! Unfortunately, by the time we made it to my parents house Christmas night, my batteries were dead so I couldn't take any more pictures with the rest of my family or Danny's family the day after Christmas. But I did capture some great memories in the days leading up to Christmas. We are all doing well, glad to have had a few days of rest after the hurricane of activity that we've been through this month. I have yet another cold or sinus thing going on that is driving me nuts, but hopefully it will be short lived. Well, here are some pics that we wanted to share.

This was one of the many family nights that we have had while Danny was on vacation...Holly and Nick were doing an activity together while Danny and I played cards and Hailey kept score.

Long Time!!!

Goodness, it's been a really long time since I posted anything on Hailey's blog! She is doing really well and growing up fast. She is about to start her Christmas vacation...tomorrow is her last day of school until January 3rd. I'm really excited to get to spend time with her and her brother. She is really looking forward to having another baby sister or brother in a few months and I know she is going to be a huge help to me through the summer after the baby is born. Here is a picture taken of her and her very good friend Rion last week at his birthday party. I will try to update more often from now on!
